I, the Guide to the Omniverse, Usher in Blue Star's Great Ascension! - chapter 10
“Cross-Time Network?”
“Time-Space Signal Navigation?”
If things were still a bit vague earlier, now Sheng Ai was basically laying all her cards on the table.
They were indeed on a journey of cross-time travel.
But.
Who would believe it!!!
Everyone felt as if they were dreaming.
Tian Youyue immediately looked at her companion Yang Zhiyu: “Hit me, see if I’m dreaming.”
Yang Zhiyu unceremoniously pinched Tian Youyue’s face.
“Ouch, that hurts!”
Tian Youyue covered her aching cheek, confirming she wasn’t dreaming.
Still bewildered.
Sheng Ai knew that talking so much was less effective than a live demonstration.
She looked at Pei Qiu: “Didn’t you just say you didn’t know where the things I bought went?”
Pei Qiu looked confused: “Yeah.”
Sheng Ai had bought a huge bag of instant food products, but Pei Qiu had never seen her bring them.
With a wave of her hand, everyone saw several packs of snacks appear in Sheng Ai’s hand.
“I only brought enough rations for you all for the next few days, all instant food products. There’s not much to eat outside, so please make do. Of course, if there’s a chance, you can also try some local cuisine.”
If they were still half-believing before, Sheng Ai’s move now undoubtedly woke everyone up completely.
Pei Qiu instinctively screamed.
“Oh my god, oh my god!!”
The other tourists were also shocked: “Holy crap!”
Tang Yuanhang, even more excited, pointed his phone at Sheng Ai and said, “Chief Guide, can you do it again? I want to record it on video.”
Sheng Ai didn’t mind: “Just don’t film my face.”
Then she took out several bottles of water from the System Space and handed them to the tourists.
At this moment, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream: “Oh my god, is this really time travel?”
“Am I dreaming? Will I really get to meet the Great Sage one day!”
“Journey to the West Route, this is awesome!”
“And it only costs 200 yuan!”
…
Wu Qian was even more stunned.
She had come with the intention of exposing a scam, but now every move Sheng Ai made was changing her worldview.
From the transformed underground mall, to this strange bus, and now to the things Sheng Ai was demonstrating.
She truly realized that she seemed to have joined an extraordinary Travel Agency.
Once Wu Qian recovered from her shock, she became extremely excited.
When people are extremely excited, they can’t wait to share the news with their family and friends.
But at this moment, making a phone call cost one hundred yuan per minute.
Too expensive.
Although this trip wasn’t very costly, Wu Qian still found the phone fee a bit hard to bear.
But if she could send this news to Tang Mengmeng, and it was a cross-time message, she would definitely be shocked!
Thinking of this, Wu Qian felt that spending the hundred yuan was worth it.
Wu Qian immediately asked Sheng Ai: “I want to buy one minute of communication. Can I use this minute at any time?”
Sheng Ai nodded: “You can use it during the trip.”
Wu Qian excitedly took out her phone: “How do I buy it?”
The others also seemed to wake up from a dream. Some didn’t care about the money, like Tang Yuanhang, who directly asked: “How much does Cross-Time Live Stream cost?”
Sheng Ai hesitated for a moment, actually asking the System.
Then she shook her head: “It’s not available for now. Because of the energy counterbalance during time travel, the flow of time is different. Our three-day trip is only three hours in the modern world. Live streaming would cause conflicts, so this feature is temporarily unavailable.”
Not opening it now doesn’t mean it won’t be opened in the future.
Tang Yuanhang nodded. “Then I’ll buy ten minutes of phone time.”
Tian Youyue also asked, “Can it be used to access the internet?”
Sheng Ai replied, “Accessing the internet is also one hundred yuan per minute.”
In that case, just using the internet to play on your phone isn’t really worth it.
This is really burning money.
Anyone joining a 200-yuan tour group can’t be an especially wealthy tourist.
After hesitating for a moment, everyone decided to just buy a few minutes of phone time and leave it at that.
Of course, they weren’t going to use it right now.
But Wu Qian, in order to reassure Tang Mengmeng, bought it. Afterward, Sheng Ai told her that even without internet, she could scan the code directly.
Because the Space-Time Company’s on-site deductions didn’t require a network connection.
Wu Qian tried calling Tang Mengmeng from her phone, which had no signal, and it actually went through!
Just now, they had tried before, and with no signal, the call definitely wouldn’t go through.
Tang Mengmeng was very anxious at this moment.
Because she had seen with her own eyes that after Wu Qian and the others got into the elevator and the doors closed, the elevator’s floor display showed they had gone to B2.
B2 was the parking lot, but when she got to the parking lot, there was no sign of Wu Qian or any of the other tourists.
Tang Mengmeng immediately called Wu Qian.
But the notification she received made her panic.
Because the message said the number she dialed was out of service area, with no signal!
In an instant, Tang Mengmeng’s mind flashed with all kinds of terrifying images about signal jammers, a van taking everyone away, Wu Qian being blindfolded and trafficked overseas…
She broke out in a cold sweat from fear.
She hurriedly rushed back into the mall.
But even after going to every floor and asking other shoppers,
everyone said they hadn’t seen any of those tourists leave.
Just as Tang Mengmeng was about to urgently find mall staff to check the surveillance footage and call the police, Wu Qian’s call came through in time.
As soon as Tang Mengmeng picked up, she blurted out anxiously, “Wu Qian, where did you go?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Wu Qian knew she only had one minute this time, so she got straight to the point: “Mengmeng, don’t worry. I really did go on a trip, for about three days, but I’ll be back in just three hours. If you’re worried, just watch a movie in the mall and wait for me. Three hours is enough! I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!”
“If I get a chance to meet the Great Sage on this trip, I’ll bring you back some autographed photos. If I don’t see the Great Sage, I’ll bring you some local specialties.”
“The space-time phone is really expensive. I’ll tell you more when I get back. My time is almost up, so I’ll hang up now. Bye-bye, don’t worry, just wait for me in the mall for three hours.”
Time was up, and Wu Qian hurriedly hung up.
Tang Mengmeng: ?
She was completely stunned.
What three days? What three hours?
What Great Sage autographed photo?
Has Wu Qian gone crazy?
She tried calling back, but Wu Qian’s phone was once again out of service area.
Tang Mengmeng was conflicted.
No, this is telecom fraud, it must be!
Wu Qian had just left, and then made this inexplicable call-could it have been generated by AI?
After all, technology is so advanced now.
And how did they leave the mall just now?
Tang Mengmeng found a place to sit down, still feeling dazed.
Finally, she checked the time.
It was only three hours, and there happened to be a new movie showing in the mall. Tang Mengmeng decided to watch a movie.
If Wu Qian didn’t come back after three hours, she would definitely call the police!
